1:30 Explore the Convergence of Global Regulatory Trends Impacting Quality Management The new and changed requirements for a risk management system according to the third edition ISO 14971:2019 and Regulation (EU) 2017/745 on medical devices will influence the technical documentation through the medical device lifecycle. Further, the clinical evaluation requirements according to the Regulation (EU) 2017/745 and the MEDDEV 2.7/1 rev. 4 is a substantial part of the technical documentation, which has significant influence on the approval and certification. The core of the clinical evaluation is based on pre-clinical and especially clinical data to support the safety, performance and clinical benefit of the medical device. Clinical data can be obtained from clinical investigations, scientific literature or clinical experience data. In addition, ISO 13485:2016 now has a specific requirement for Post Market Surveillance (PMS) as well as several new PMS requirements found in Regulation (EU) 2017/745. The correlation between risk management, clinical evaluation and other post market surveillance activities will call for some substantial changes within the Quality Management System in order to comply with new Global Regulatory expectations.

2:15 Game Changer! Update on FDA and Industry Collaboration on Computer Software Assurance (CSA) Although FDA Title 21 CFR Part 11 was introduced in 1997 to regulate the use of computerized systems, many Life Sciences companies still struggle with the complexities and cost to comply, and remain using paper-based, manual tools for documentation and quality management.In an effort to harmonize with international standards, the FDA (CDRH) announced in their FY 2019 Proposed Guidance Development list to release a new draft guidance, “Computer Software Assurance for Manufacturing, Operations, and Quality System Software,” that aligns with the current quality systems regulation ISO 13485. Hear directly from members of the FDA/industry collaborative team on the scope of what this guidance may entail. • Discuss industry recommendations for anticipated FDA draft guidance• Hear success stories of implementing the guidance and the

resulting benefits• Analyze the challenges and solutions to automating non-product CSV

The cost of human error to the life sciences industry results in billions of dollars in lost revenue annually, in addition to products and services that never make it to market. Understanding the root causes of mistakes that people make through looking at the human performance model is one of the first steps that must be taken to address investigations and deviations that are associated with validation-related activities. Participants learn:• Who should be involved in root cause analysis of

human error in validation-related activities?

• What is human performance modeling?• Where is the data and information that should be

considered in root cause analysis?• Why does it take so long to complete root

cause analysis?• How can the request for resources be justified for

reducing human error?• When is enough, enough in terms of root causes

analysis associated with human error reduction?
